Background

Lead singer Lexi Valentine said that the album "is about finding out exactly where you want to go and getting there without stopping for anything — but taking those things that matter along the way" when asked about the record. She also stated that "It's also about power, strength and heart. And being honest with yourself. The sound is hopeful, bright, and at peace with life's twists and turns."[2]
